The cars will ultimately cross the block in Scottsdale.

“On behalf of everyone at Barrett-Jackson, we’re excited to be returning to Las Vegas for the sixth year to offer some of the world’s finest collector cars,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Between the amazing cars we have crossing the auction block and the unique display of vehicles we will have on site, we’re proud to offer an unmatched experience for car collectors from all around the world.”

The sixth annual Las Vegas auction is the first event with Barrett-Jackson’s expanded coverage on the FOX family of networks. There will be 22 hours of live, high-definition TV coverage of the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction, Thursday through Saturday, September 26 – 28.

“As a result of a very successful inaugural auction in Reno both in sales and with the Barrett-Jackson Cup, we’re seeing some great momentum going in to Las Vegas,” said Steve Davis, President of Barrett-Jackson. “We have an influx of diverse offerings and we’re excited for all of our fans and friends to experience what is sure to be another incredible Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas experience.”
